3rd Gen High Performance and Accessories (6.7L Only)Talk about Dodge/Cummins aftermarket products for third generation trucks here. Can include high-performance mods, or general accessories. THIS IS FOR THE 6.7L ONLY!

The only downside to the reroute to the atmosphere( under the truck ) instead of to the airbox, is that some guys say they can smell the oil in the cab. Another is, there is a chance of oil dripping on the driveway from it once its no longer routed to the tube. I havent had any smell yet, but ive only had it like this for a few thousand miles...

My 08 2500 is used to pull a 5th wheel for work. It is coming up on 100k miles. At that time I plan on doing the deletes, Smarty, trans service with a Mag-hytec deep pan and a Snow Performance MPG-MAX injection system. I have already had a bunch of egr problems with a cracked something or other replaced by the dealer.

1) will the methanol/water clean the soot out of the turbo or should I do the dealer service turbo cleaning?

general opinions of local wrenches is take it out and floor it blowing the soot out at regular intervals. Just doing the deletes is said to triple the life of the VGT Turbo which they say WILL have to be replaced at some time due to poor design. The drilling and cleaning port I was told was the fix for the original turbo and vent set up early 7.5 vintage. few 2008's had to be replaced, or my dealer was making up stories again. I was also told that because I put a high capacity transmission pan on my truck it voided the engine warranty? Guess Dodge is selling bridges also in Manhattan?

I asked this on another thread but this one looks more geared towards getting an answer.
If I remove the electronics on my spare VGT that is off the truck, can I immerse it in a degreaser to clean it? Then rinse it, air dry and reprime with some oil?

So I had the soot issue with my turbo and now I am going to do deletes... But I did take it to Dodge because they had already cleaned up my turbo once before... now they DON'T CLEAN... instead they wanted to replace the entire turbo... they said they cant even get the tool any more

Yep. My wife's 07.5 was just a month from being out of warrantee when we got the code. Dodge replaced the turbo. The service manager said the cleaning option was a band-aid fix and would last ten or fifteen thousand mile.

With the new turbo on I went straight out and ordered the Mini-Max and delete kit. Hopefully, I wont need to have the turbo replaced for at least 100 K miles.
